I am wondering what these things have in common, if anything:
I cannot run chsh or chfn. When tried I get an error openning
/etc/pwd.db.
sendmail is not working -- getrequests cannot bind because Permission
denied
Is it possible that my database is somehow corrupt? If so, why didn't
rebuilding it help? Should I try using the backups of master.passwd
instead of master.passwd for rebuilding the database?
Right now I am just throwing out ideas to see if it spurs anything from
those of you who know a heck of a lot more about this than I do.
Thanks!
